Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3117712, member: 1526"] It all boils down to petty jealousy and envy among a certain segment of the female coaches in the game. Some of them just can't wrap their heads around the fact that a male coach is the greatest in the history of the women's game. Perhaps there's some justification for that feeling, since many men are coaching in the women's game, but seeing everything in terms of male vs. female is silly. Coaches should do what's best for their own program, whether that means hiring a male or female coach. What if there's a particular male coach that applies for a coaching job who is clearly superior to any female coach that applies? Are you going to ignore that particular coach in favor of a less qualified female coach? Is that arbitrary decision in the best interests of your program? Advertising in advance that you'll only hire females may eliminate eminently qualified male coaches who might have been encouraged to apply if you were open to hiring anybody. I'd say I'm going to hire the best coach for the job, and I don't give a rat's ass if it's a man or a woman. I'm hiring the best choice, period. [/QUOTE]
